  1. Alex Gonzalez was a good looking dude.
  2. No stats during the seasons will be kept, instead there will be "Top 10 _______" lists with no determinable criteria.
  3. I really think they will too. Unless the player is truly near the top of their position I just don't see teams wanting to give up compensation for them. 2nd tier players like Kendrys Morales and Cruz should have accepted the QO and I could see next years free agent class of 2nd tier position players going on the side of caution. However, the offseason is not over.
  4. I agree. Last year we had 2 black holes (2nd and C) and a mess in left field. With Melky's tumor removed he shouldn't be nearly as bad as last year. And if Navaro can get on base and Goins can get on base even once a game I'd be delighted. Our lineup even with Goins in it isn't nearly as bad most people act.
  5. Other than Sexson every one of those players spent time with the Jays.
  6. I guess that would depend on what kind of porn it was.
  7. Yunesky Maya, who defected from Cuba in 2009. "I don't think it's a big secret that the Cuban League is very strong and he's had great results there...." Any opinions on exactly how strong this league actually is? I find it hard to believe that a country as small as Cuba has a strong baseball league. Opinions?
  8. I could see Rajai getting more than that. The Tigers gave Andy Dirks almost 500 PA last year and Davis can use his wheels once he gets on base.
  9. Royals designate E4 for assignment. ..no no no no no for 2nd base
  10. Nothing wrong with adding versatility in the minor leagues. It's not like it's a big investment or anything. It just adds another option for when half the starting infield gets injured, again.
  11. Don't see why not. He wasn't lighting the world on fire at 3rd why not see if he can spark something with a change in position.
  12. I think they are in a position where they didn't want to risk him accepting and then their hands being tied on doing other moves. Their rotation is pretty decent even without Burnett but they need a little bit more fire power in that lineup to advance further in the playoffs. When I'm back in the hometown my dad gets Root (which is Pitts sports channel) and I believe that's how they explained it.
  13. Friendly flirting?
  14. I hear you on that. I REALLY can't justify spending hundreds of dollars on something that I don't think I'd use very often. It's hard to rationally justify spending one month's rent on a video game system unless you plan to use it frequently. I'd love to play The Show on a PS3 or 4 but for right now it's just PS2 for me!
  15. It's the gettingoffseason
  16. So did the Red Sox, apparently.
  17. This is what I meant. Just because the big names didn't sign yet with "skyrocketed" figures doesn't mean that the mid-level starters haven't. If mid-level starters are getting 10 million, what's another 4 for a pitcher who was once among the best pitchers in baseball. And it's not like JJ is in his late 30s. The man will be 30 this season.
  18. I feel like AA just underestimated how the price of pitching was going to skyrocket. looking back on it now $14 million doesn't seem horrible for someone with JJ potential.
  19. There should be an "easily replaceable" in there too.
  20. If the players allow social media to get into their heads they should just stay away from it.
  21. I wouldn't. It would make me cry at the state of humanity. Like when I found out that Snookie made more money to give a college commencement speech than I did all last year. Single tear.
  22. I have no problem bring in his reputation if he is a borderline Hall of Fame candidate. To be fair he has a great reputation. But as you said, his stats are not Hall of Fame worthy, so this reputation shouldn't not even need to come into play.
  23. I don't know this guys background but from going to school for communication I can tell you what I know about most (mostly fellows) who want to be sports journalists: they are goddamn awful at math. Chances are this man uses things like wins and Cy Young votes because he doesn't understand more complicated statistics. Also, there's been some sort of performance enhancing drugs in baseball for a long time. Cocaine in the 60s-80s, anabolic steroids later. And to be fair, no one can be certain when steroids started being prevalent in baseball. If Jack Morris gets in Dave Stieb should be in too.
  24. Unless it's about penises
  25. Ugh! So sad. I wonder if he'd be willing to work with RR.
